I have good links back to James HUTTON Married in 1878, just after his second son was born.
He should have been born about 1851.
I found a likely candidate in the 1871 Census in Cambridge.
This same family were in Harwich in 1851. The father was not in the household.
The fathers name was also James according to a marriage cert. dated 07/Mar/1848.
Does this ring any bells?
